Another young Russian model, Kristina Pimenova, previously sparked controversy after she described the most beautiful girl in world at the age of just nine.

The youngster, who is now 11, later secured a lucrative modelling contract in the US with LA Models.

However, her mother was forced to hit back after she was criticised for publishing "provocative" photos of her daughter on social media.

Glikeriya Pimenova told MailOnline at the time: "I am certain in my mind all her photographs are absolutely innocent."

Despite her young age, Kristina has already had an enviable career having graced the cover of Vogue Bambini when she was seven and been the face of Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Benetton, among others.
